Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy was last updated on December 16, 2011
At WCW, Inc. we are committed to protecting your privacy and making it clear how we use your information. This
privacy policy describes the kinds of information that we may collect about you; how we use that information; how we
protect it; when we disclose it; and how you can access and control your information.
Your consent
By visiting our website, by requesting an information kit or other product detail, or by purchasing products directly
from us (either on our website or by phone) you are indicating that you agree to these policies.
Information we collect
There are three kinds of information we collect: “personal information“, “credit information“ and “non-personal“.
There’s a difference in how we treat each type of information.
Personal information
Personal information includes your name, address (both billing and shipping addresses), e-mail address credit card
information, phone number and information about the products you purchase from us. We share your name, billing
address, phone number and the products you purchase with the vendors we use to process your order and ship the
products to you. We share your credit card information with the vendors who process the credit card purchase. We
use your shipping address to ship your products to you and to send catalogs and other mailings to you. We use your
billing address to verify your billing information. If you don’t want to receive mailings from us, please see the "How to
control your information" section below.
Credit information
Credit information is the information we use if you apply for financing through us or our partners. When you apply
for WCW, Inc. Financing or an alternative form of financing that we may offer, we pass your personal information
directly to the bank(s) administering that account for us. We don’t store the information on our servers: rather we
send it to the administering bank. Except for the bank(s) administering the lines of credit, we do not share your credit
information either internally or externally with anyone else. Please note that “credit information“ as described in this
paragraph is not the same as “credit card information“, which is part of your personal information.
Non-personal information
Non-personal information includes the pages you visit on our website, how many clicks it takes to reach specific
information, and the kinds of purchases you make on our site. This data is in an anonymous format and doesn’t
contain any personal information about you. We share non-personal information about your website visits with
vendors who help us administer our website or help us market our products.
When we collect your information
We collect information from you when you visit the site and when you do business with us.
When ordering and making a purchase
When you place an order with us, either using our website or by phone, we collect your personal information. This
includes your name, shipping and billing addresses, e-mail address, phone number, credit card information, and the
details of your order. We collect such personal information to process your order, including collecting payment and
shipping products to you.
When signing up for promotional mail and e-mail
When you sign up for promotional mail and e-mails or request a product information kit from us, we may collect your
personal information. This may include your name, mailing address and e-mail address. We collect such personal
information so we can send you product information and notice of special promotions.
When registering a product
When you register a Natural Form product with us, we collect your personal information. If you bought the product
directly from us, we have your basic personal information, but we collect information about the specific item you
purchased, including information like the serial number. We also optionally collect personal preference information,
which includes questions about your household and your purchase decision. We collect personal preference
information because it helps us in developing new products and marketing that meet consumers’ needs.
When contributing to our website
When you submit product reviews, product testimonials, or other content to our website, we collect some personal information. This may include your name and e-mail address. We collect personal information because it helps us
ensure we are giving accurate and authentic feedback about our products.
When visiting our website
When you visit our website, we collect non-personal information about your visit. This includes information about your
Internet service provider, the type of computer and web browser you are using, and the pages you click on when
you visit the site. We collect non-personal information because it helps us to keep our site working properly with the
many types of computers and browsers people use to view our site, and because knowing this information helps us to
determine which information on our site is most valuable to people who visit.
How we collect information
We collect information in three ways: when you give us your information during checkout (on our website or over the
phone) or using one of the forms on our website, when you visit our website and click through the pages, and when
we collect information from other sources (such as information kit requests and calls to our 1-800 Number).
Information you give us
When you purchase a product from us, either on our website or by phone, we ask you for personal information so
we can complete your order. We also collect personal information when you set up an online shopping account, sign
up for promotional mail or e-mail, and when you call us to request an information kit or to learn about products. The
personal information that you give us may be combined with other personal information (such as order history and
demographic information) from third-party sources to make our marketing efforts more efficient.
Information we collect when you visit our website
When you visit our website, we collect non-personal information about your visit using common website tracking
technologies. These include your Internet Protocol ("IP") address, “cookies“, and action tags.
IP address is the number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet that we use
to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website; this number does not identify your name,
email address, or other personal information.
Cookies are computer files that act as an identification card for your computer. When you visit our site, unique
cookies are placed on your browser. The purpose of the cookie is to distinguish your browser from other browsers
that visit our site. Cookies make it easier for you to use our website. We use a cookie in order to remember the
products in your shopping cart, both while you are viewing other areas on our website and when you return to our
site. We also use cookies to gather aggregate usage information about the numbers and frequency of visitors to our
website and individual pages of our website, in order to improve the appearance and usability of the website. Working
through our third party digital advertising agency (along with its ad serving technology partner and several partnered
networks of publishers) we also use cookies to track your interests and then provide you with customized banner ads
that we think will be more useful because they are based on past purchase and page visits to our site. These cookies
do not collect personal information about you, nor do we combine information collected through these cookies with
other personal information about you. Cookies may remain on your hard drive after you leave our website. You may
decline to accept cookies by modifying your Web browser settings. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be
able to sign up for or use certain features of the website that depend on your Web browser accepting cookies (such
as keeping products in your cart).
Action Tags recognize specific cookies that have been placed on your browser by us and by networks of publishers
that are partnered with our digital advertising agency. They can convey information that a browser with a recognized
cookie has accessed a page or a part of a page on our website, depending on where the action tag is located on
our site. For instance, an action tag located on our purchase confirmation page will record that a browser with a
recognized cookie has made a purchase. Action tags do not, however, tell us that a specific person has purchased a
product because the cookie is only the web browser’s identification card. It does not obtain any Personally Identifiable
Information. We use Action Tags to measure the effectiveness of our digital advertising campaign and to make our
website more relevant to visitors by seeing what pages are visited and whether visits result in a purchase. Action
Tags also allow our digital advertising agency to select and serve banner advertisements to your browser that you
find most interesting and relevant.
Information we collect from other sources
When you sign up for catalogs from companies, many of those companies share your personal information with
trusted partners who will also send you catalogs. We belong to a group of companies, all of them screened for their
business practices, which share the names and addresses of people who agree to receive our printed catalogs. We
may receive other information from these sources including updated delivery and address information, which we use
to correct our records and deliver catalogs and promotions accurately.
How to control your information
After you give us your personal information, you can access and check, add, change or remove the information we
have on file for you.
Adding your name to our lists
If you haven’t ordered from us, but want to receive catalogs or e-mails from us, you can add your name to our mailing
lists. You can receive printed catalogs, e-mails, or both. We use our mailing lists to send notice of new products and
special offers. Please sign up on our website or call our toll free number and register with a sleep consultant.
Removing your name from our lists
If you decide you don’t want to receive mailings from us, you can remove your name from our mailing lists. You can
stop receiving printed mailings, e-mails, or both. Remove your name from our lists by opting out on the email or
website.
Changing the information we have on file
If your personal information changes (like when you move), you can change the information we have on file for you.
Please call or email us to change your personal information.

You may contact us (see contact details below) to check what personal information we have on file for you. To protect

Sharing your information
Social networking
We offer you the opportunity to share information about our products and our website using “share this“ functionality.
We offer this functionality in order to generate interest in our products among the members of your social networks
and to permit you to share opinions and recommendations about our products with your friends. Sharing either
personal or non-personal information with a social network may result in that information being collected by the social
network hosting company or may result in that information being made public.
Service providers
We employ other companies and individuals to perform certain services and functions on our behalf. These
include operating and maintaining our website, taking orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail,
removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing consultation and assistance,
distributing customer surveys, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. These companies
have access to the personal information needed to perform their services or functions, but may not use it for other
purposes.
We also work with third parties to serve advertisements about our company across the web. These third parties my
use tracking technologies (described under “How We Collect Information“ above) to collect anonymous data about
users who view or interact with advertisements on our website. We do not provide any personal information about
the users to these third parties. However, by interacting with, viewing, or clicking on an ad or visiting our website, the
third party might collect non-personally identifiable information about you like an anonymous cookie ID, the specific
ad posted on the site, and the place and time of ad delivery. Third parties may use tracking technologies, such as
cookies and action tags when serving ads. These commonly used technologies are used for auditing, research, and
reporting purposes. Third party cookies and action tags are subject to the privacy policy of the company placing them.
For your protection and ours
We may release personal information when we believe it is appropriate to comply with applicable law regulation, legal
process, or governmental request; enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights,
property, or safety of WCW, Inc. our customers, our employees or others.
Business transfer
As we develop our business, we might sell or buy subsidiaries or business units. In such transactions, customer
information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-
existing privacy policy (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that WCW Inc.
or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will be one of the transferred assets.
How we protect your personal information
We want you to feel confident about using our website or making purchases directly from us, and we are
committed to protecting the personal information we collect. We have implemented appropriate physical, electronic,
administrative and organizational security measures to protect the personal information that you provide to us against
unauthorized access or disclosure. Our security system includes protocols to authenticate users and to restrict
access. If we transmit personal information across public networks and wirelessly, the data will be encrypted.
In the unlikely event that your personal information is accessed without authorization or disclosed to unauthorized
individuals, we will promptly comply with any data breach notification requirements imposed under applicable law.
Children's privacy
We do not knowingly sell merchandise to or direct advertising toward persons under 13 years of age (“children“). We
do not knowingly collect any PII from children.
Links to external websites
If any part of our website links you to other websites, those websites do not operate under this privacy policy. We
recommend that you examine the privacy statements posted on those other websites to understand their procedures
for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy in the future. We will post at the top of this Privacy Policy the date on which it was most
recently updated.
